17 MORE minutes? Like it wasn’t enough of a crushing bore already?

[plinyelder]

Maybe it's the 17 minutes that actually explained what the movie was about?
(2010 didn't do a very good job of it)

[fieldmarshaldj]

Looking forward to seeing it.

You beat me to it. Visually it was a great movie, but I never understood what the point was, or even if there was a point.

[El Sordo]

Yeah... That movie really needs to be longer.

OK, in all seriousness. I hope to see it.

They can come out with a 3D version and then two months later they could have a 3D version with the lost 17 minutes. George Lucas should have lost some minutes from his movies because I doubt he is done milking the Star Wars saga for every last nickel.

You mean to say the footage isn’t in Kansas anymore?

28 times sci-fi movies have used ‘We’re not in Kansas anymore’

My dad took me to see this on a 70mm screen in downtown Cleveland when I was a tot.

Best nap I ever had. Can’t wait to miss the “lost” minutes!

[plinyelder]

Saw it the day it came out!

Been scratching my head, (among other things) every since! 8)

Is that the same 17 minutes of lost sleep I have been looking for ??

[mlo]

Read the book.

[Psycho_Bunny]

I actually enjoyed that film, right up to the acid trip at the end.

So, if this is 17 minutes more of that nonsense.......

HELP! my ping lost is gone

A couple days ago when I last pinged the list I erred in doing cut/paste rather than copy/paste. (that is whay I wanted a back up person)

so will try to remember & check past threads for at least a starter list

This is who I have on my newly "throw together from memory" list.

Maybe in the 17 minutes they can explain the TOTUS!!!!

[Rebelbase]

Probably 17 minutes of “Hal”, “Yes Dave?”

[Kirkwood]

Yep. All makes sense once you read the ending in the book.

[Vaquero]

Maybe it's the 17 minutes that actually explained what the movie was about?

ya gotta read the book.

Arthur Clarkes, novel, ‘2001 a space odyssey’

its like the movie was meant to be viewed ONLY after the book is read.
